This is a collection of my blog entries and experiences with flying, and learning to fly. Something I had been wanting to do for quite a while.
You can find all the pictures I've taken here, and read below for my experience.
Specifically, I have a page for my Trips to Oshkosh, the mecca for pilots

Daniel came with us to the USS Hornet for a flashlight tour (parts of the aircraft carrier not open to the general public). It was quite nice to be able to see the underbelly of the ship, the steam engines, and special rooms like the dentist room, or hairdresser:

plane arresting cables

catapult

we got down in the bowels of the ship

burners were diesel is injected via nozzles and burnt to create steam pressure

Random other parts of the underground city:

dentist office

bakery

hairdresser

laundry

huge washers and dryers

CIC (command and control center):

crypto room

Deck:

I'll also have to learn more about knots :)

Later pictures from another visit:

first plane to land on a boat, in 1913!

Thanks a bunch to Daniel for driving us there and back when neither Jennifer or I were much up to it that day (lack of sleep, and cold).
